A New Song I

Text: Psa. 40:3
More Lesson: Psa. 89:15-1
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 97-99

It's impossible to separate joy and rejoicing from singing and dancing. Songs are the most natural products of the outbursts of joy or pain, that’ s why even crying is singing a song, inaudible as it may be, it fits all the characteristics of a song. The evidence of breakthrough is the new song you sing. Figuratively, everybody is singing a certain song. It's either the song of pleasure or the song of pain, the song of peace or songs of war, songs of faith and hope or songs of fear and depression. Songs are expressions of our present experience.

I declare that this year, God will give you a miracle that will cause you to break out into singing in Jesus name. You are coming out of that circumstance with songs of victory in Jesus name! Our God is a God of new songs. David the psalmist (Psa. 46) puts it like this; He gives songs in the mid-night! Looks at the children of Israel after 430 years of bondage, God gave them a new song to sing. The scriptures records that Moses, even though he was a stammerer composed a new song and taught all of God's people as they sang songs of victory.

That same God that can modulate and re vamp a 430 year old song of torment and captivity to choruses of Joy will turn to you now! I prophecy that it is your turn for a miracle in Jesus mighty name. The only songs that would be heard from your tabernacle this year will be songs of Joy and celebration in Jesus name.

When Jesus our saviour was born, angels appeared in the clouds and sang a new song. I decree and declare that in the name of Jesus by angelic arrangement, the announcement of your new song will be heard on the mountain tops for all the world to see in Jesus name. For every new season of your life God has a new song for you to sing. There is a song for every season. There is a song you must sing this season, and every pharaoh of darkness that has snuffed the song out of your mouth, may the hand of God snuff life out of them in Jesus name. It's enough of dancing to the enemy's tune. Arise, sing a new song in Jesus name.

Prayer/Action
*Thank God for the gift of a new song.
*Pray for God to give you a song that is capable of turning every sorrow in your life to songs of praise.
*Pray against every plan of the enemy to make you sing songs of sorrow and shame.

Intimacy and communion II

Text: 2 Cor. 13:14

Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 94-96

The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia. How much do you want the manifest presence of God? It is true that the presence of God is everywhere but the manifest presence of God is not everywhere. That is why we must desire to deepen intimacy with the Lord on a personal level. The glory of God beams out of intimacy with the divine. Wealth is a by- product of valuing the presence of God. Peace and joy are exclusive to those who have tasted communion with God. Do you want holiness? Don't just bump into the place of the presence of God, stay there until something happens. Are you sick in your body or mind? Like chaff in fire, no unclean spirit or disease can survive the holy presence of God. 

All the frustrations of the past vanish in the compelling presence of the Most High. Do you need wisdom to handle situations of life? Get a hold of the scriptures until it comes alive to you and the word of God will become for you the wisdom you are looking for. This is why the partaking of the holy communion table is imperative and should be observed regularly by all who want to experience the ever increasing power of God because it re-awakens us to a fresh revelation of the blood and body of Jesus Christ where all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge is hid. Col. 2:3. 

The communion capsules are intimacy initiators. That's why according to Paul the apostle, many eat of the holy communion and are sickly or die because they didn't partake of it with communion consciousness which he called "discerning the Lord's body".1 Corinthians 11:29. Complacency in the spirit is an expression of the spirit of pride because it tells God there is no need to strive for more of you because where I am is enough. But just enough is not enough, irrespective of how much of God’s grace and favour is upon you, there is more of God in God to be enjoyed by those who will pay the price of the extra mile mark to become people of an extraordinary mark in this generation. Are there still idols left in your life that are contending for the presence of God? How much do you want the presence of God?

Prayer/Action
*Glorify God because he has chosen you to be a carrier of his presence.
*Pray that wherever you go and whatever you do, God's presence will be evident.
*Pray for a deeper communion with the Holy Spirit.
Welcome the Holy Spirit afresh and fellowship with him constantly.

Intimacy and Communion I

Text: Psalms 119:2
More lessons: Deut. 4:29
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 91-93

Whatever we regularly commune with, we attach intimately to. The purpose of prayer, worship, study , congregational meetings, and every other exercise, activity and act of service we do in Christ is that as we commune with the Father in the name of Jesus and by the leading of the Holy Spirit, we may intimately know him for ourselves. Communion is powerful. Friendship without communion is a mirage on the highway. You cannot be intimate with a person you have refused to relate with.

This is why faith in Jesus is more than just another religion, it is a relationship. It is not man trying to reach God, it is God stretching his mighty hand and loving heart towards frail and dying humans all over the world filling us with His love and touching us in ways no one else can.

It is about sons and daughters of Zion getting lost in The Father's embrace. It's more relational than functional. It’s not just about principles, it's more about the divine presence that empowers the principles. We must press into the divine presence to enjoy intimacy with God. Moses saw the burning bush for a start, he saw the Red Sea split like walls on either sides, he saw ten plaques from God descending on the most power nation at the time, he saw food dropping from the skies for the children of God, amongst other things and in my opinion he witnessed more manifestations of the literal presence of God than any singular leader in history.

Nevertheless something kept burning inside of him with flames so hot and wild until he couldn’t hold it anymore one day in prayer and he cried out and said 'shew me your glory'... And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. Exodus 33:18. That is not the cry of a church goer, nor a give me-give me get rich fast Christian. It is the voice of one that is overwhelmed by deep hunger and strong desire to dive into depths of intimacy with the Father. Technology today has surrounded us with fast food, fast cars, fast communication, fast therapy e.t.c. So the 21st century Christian is tempted to import the idea that we don't have to wait for even God. We can just fast track our morning prayer over a cup of coffee and there is no harm done. But the Word of God insists that we cannot find God except we seek him with all our heart. When it comes to the pursuit of the presence of God, until everything goes into it, nothing comes out of it. No price is too high to pay for the presence of God. For he is more real than everybody in the world put together.

Prayer/Action
*Thank the father for continuous access into his presence.
*Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with deep hunger and thirst for consistent communion with him.
*Pray for discipline to seek God diligently.
Seek God diligently and consistently.

The 'Let there be' Dimension II

Text: Mark 11:23
More lessons: Ezekiel 37:1-10
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 88-90

When in the beginning there was chaos, God didn't say darkness leave, He said Light be! Understanding that phrase is very important for anyone who will walk in authority in this season and reign in this present darkness. God didn't focus on what was going wrong, he spoke only the things he wanted to see. When we focus on what the devil is doing instead of what God can do, we unconsciously empower evil over our lives. But if we will stand and declare the power and faithfulness of God irrespective of what the enemy has done, the light of life will flood our lives and darkness will vanish in the presence of God. 

The secret to power in this life is in the spoken word. The enemy can take anything away from you and it will not matter as long as he doesn't take God's word from your heart and lips. The root word, believe, means much more than just to agree with the heart. It also has to do with zealously confessing and professing what your heart believes and is totally convinced about. You're not a believer in the light unless you confess the light everywhere you go. Jesus never worked any miracle in silence. He always spoke to the situation.

He always issued a word of command and demons had to flee, withered body parts were restored and even the dead came back to life. We cannot separate supernatural living from supernatural speaking. This is why we must fill our hearts with the pure Word of God until the Word becomes our first response to negative pulses of life because there will be difficulties in this life. Jesus didn't promise us smooth sailing but he promised us safe landing. He didn't promise that we will not have trouble but he did promise that our troubles will not have us because he has overcome the world.

May be the reason why that circumstance in your life has lingered is because you have done everything but speak a 'let there be' word over it. As you release the 'let there be' words, the very elements of creation must comply because you have spoken the word of God. It might not be the very same minute but you can always count on the fact that words you speak or allow others speak over you have impact on the quality of life you live. Don't speak the Word of God one minute and walk away the next; stay with it, hang in there, and keep speaking ‘let there be’ words. Don't stop speaking; keep talking, insist on it, decree the promises of God and watch miracles happen. The secret to a life of miracles is in speaking faith filled words everyday and everywhere. 

Prayer/Action
*Pray that your words will carry God's life in them
*Declare that from now on, you speak no mere/lifeless words and your words will carry power and will be irresistible
*Ask for grace to work in your God given dominion/authority
Engage in the power of Positive confessions.
Speak Life to every dead situation.
